Thank you so much, Mamyalynne, well done!
Now see 23a as ‘embus’, (doctor, mb, in eu’s for the union’s bit of clue) although it is an ugly little word even though it fits with your ‘Gaskell’ which is a great spot by you. If you can ‘embus’, can you emtrain, emplane - I rather hope not.
Is it ‘aemilia’ for 7d? And what on earth is 19a?

[Mamyalynne]

7 yes

19 Grimwig

[allesley]

Mamyalynne, I’ve got 19a now - Grimwig, character in Oliver Twist - thanks to you supplying me with the 2 g’s and the w.
Thanks again

[Mamyalynne]

It's normally 'Entrain'.

[Mamyalynne]

ooops and 'Emplane'

[Mamyalynne]

You're welcome.
